Good Things.

*LAND COVER MAPPING IN MEXICO /(Part 2)./*This past May. Justin Fisher 
wrote "/I//am looking for a GIS land cover map for Mexico. The more 
recent the better, but will take anything. I am particularly interested 
in areas near (25 km) the coast from the TX border to the tip of the 
Yucatan peninsula."/Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you

-The IGRDJ journal is a peer review international journal that caters 
for scientists, professors, researchers, post-doctoral, scholars and 
students who wish to promote and communicate advances in remote sensing, 
GIS, GPS, Photogrammetry, LIDAR, SAR, and its integration with 
Information Technology with soft computing approaches, Earth Sciences 
and Resources and develop a seamless network for Geoinformatics 
scientists that contribute to the following areas: Remote Sensing and 
GIS for all applications; Geo-information and Technology for Disasters 
Management; Health GIS; Advance Geo-Information Technologies; Sensors 
and GPS, GNSS, LIDAR-SAR; Photogrammetry, Aerial Photography and etc.; 
Computer and Image Processing and related fields; and Civil Engineering 
and Technology. All authors are invited to submit complete unpublished 
papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal. 
The journal is published in English and it is open to authors around the 
world regardless of the nationality. It is currently published 4 times 
in a year. Accepted papers will be published online/hard copy and 
authors will be provided with printed copies if requested. See authors 
guide for manuscript preparation and submission guidelines on IGRDJ 
website (http://www.igrdg.com). All submitted papers will be judged 
based on their quality by the technical committee and reviewers within

months time. Papers that describe research and experimentation are 
encouraged. All paper submissions will be handled electronically and 
detailed instructions on submission procedure are available on IGRDJ

*BCN *- Biological Conservation Newsletter (BCN) August 2012 - Issue No. 
332 now available at http://botany.si.edu/pubs/bcn/issue/latest.htm The 
future of the Biological Conservation Newsletter is under consideration 
- continue as is, modify it in some way, or cease production. The main 
purpose of the monthly newsletter is twofold: (1) to highlight stories 
of conservation research coming out of the Smithsonian Institution; and 
(2) to provide a comprehensive list of current literature related to 
conservation biology. We would like to understand what you find most 
useful, and whether the newsletter should continue. If you have not 
already done so, please complete a quick two-minute survey at 
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F6HRSXS. We also welcome comments about 
BCN sent directly to the editor at krupnickg at si.edu
